How Break Culture of Dependency On Govt Aid? Celibacy

Chicago’s Rooftop Protesting Pastor Corey Brooks asks whether a progressive “government that helped create a culture of dependency” thereby fostering a generation of lost souls, can “reverse the damage”? Short answer: “No.” Long answer: “Why not, if go celibate?”

Pastor Brooks for one sees government aid and the devil it includes in the details: “One question facing nonprofit organizations like [my] Project H.O.O.D. is whether to accept government funding or to raise funds solely through private donors. The danger of relying on government funding [which he rejects] is that it puts nonprofits at the mercy of fickle politicians with the power to ax funding as well as the mercy of unforeseeable crises like the 2008 financial collapse.” Perhaps add another caveat to government financing of well-intentioned do-gooders: It’s addictive. To both the nonprofits and the needy they serve. All one need do is look at the big cities’ “War on Homelessness” and see that the more money the government has thrown taxpayer money at the problem the more the problem has grown (to the point where its common to see subsidized tent cities popping up, filled with drug addicted folks, the mentally ill and the truly perennially destitute).

Hence, the short answer is “no,” the problem of “cultural dependency” will never be solved as long as this cycle of progressive naivete aka overreliance on government funding aka meddling is not broken. Yet, “why not” if Pastor Brooks’ suggested weaning off of addicting “government aid” is actually celibated?
